Raymond man accused of abusing infant wants his statements to police thrown out
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
— A Raymond man is claiming that police pressed him to admit that he abused his one-month old son before taking him to Exeter Hospital in December to be examined for injuries, according to his lawyers.
Public defenders are asking a judge to throw out statements that Cavan Moore, 27, made to Raymond police so a jury won't be able to consider them as evidence.
Moore is facing 14 counts of second-degree assault and six counts of endangering the welfare of a child in Rockingham County Superior Court for allegedly injuring his son between Dec. 10 and Dec. 28.
Moore first told police on Dec. 28 that he may have injured his son by "accidentally stepping on him," according to his lawyers.
Police told Moore that they didn't believe him, and that the medical evidence showed the injuries were caused by, "twisting and pulling the infant with tremendous force," according to court records.
Public defenders are arguing that a Raymond police detective should have read Moore his Miranda rights prior to interviewing him.
Public defender Larissa Kiers said in court papers that Moore was told by police that he had to be interviewed so he could be excluded as a suspect. He was then asked to give a statement about how his son was injured.
Moore agreed to write a statement and told police, "he may have caused injury to his son by accidentally stepping on him," according to a court motion.
A police detective left Moore alone to write his statement, but when the officer returned, Moore "explained he didn't step on the baby, but maybe sat on him," Kiers said in a court motion.
More was then confronted by a Raymond police detective about the medical evidence in the case.
"During the interview, Cavan made various statements," Kiers said in court papers. "None of the statements are per se admissions, but Cavan tries to explain to the detective how the injuries may have occurred."
Prosecutors have yet to respond to the defense's argument. A judge will hear testimony on Sept. 20 about the police interview.
The boy's mother, Erica Moore, is also facing six misdemeanor counts of child endangerment in connection with the case.

This is kind of off topic, but I thought you were being really sweet calling me "Angel" and then I remembered I'd changed my user name :'( Hahaha x(Original post by .snowflake.)
Angel, I thought that too, well, that he was six foot tall, built like a rugby player and really, REALLY enjoyed food.
Its surprising how our opinions of others are formed on what they say/ how they act. Most of my year think of me as being really happy and smiley, they dont know half of the weird **** that happens in my head.

Oh man. These stories are so sad
I couldn't imagine suffering like you do. I can't even begin to understand what it is like to have an ED.
I wish the best of luck to all of you who've shared your stories... and I hope you manage to overcome your eating disorders.

I feel odd now, commenting on your threads and having no idea for the true reasons behind them... People always asking how you can possibly think up so many food threads, and the reason being that you were always thinking about food.
I guess the thing that makes this seem even more tragic is that you're a really nice and genuine person, and we all kind of felt like we gotten to know you, but didn't realise what you were going through
I posted this comment a few days ago before I'd even read this thread: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show...light=Totomimo
You genuinely are one of the nicest people on TSR , I remember people starting up threads asking where you had gone just because you hadn't posted in a few days, so you know you have a lot of support!
I really hope you conquer your demon.

That's a decidedly glamorous (and hopefully true) way of viewing this disease. Hopefully I can personally overcome it in this kinda way; just click! "man, what am I doing?!" - then better!
The thing is I didn't want to spend every meal worrying about how I would get rid of the food and realised I didn't want to die so seeked help etc.
I really hope everyone on this thread stays strong and gets through it because you can and you deserve to not be controlled by this.

argh.. this thread could not have come at a more appropriate time.
i'm bulimic.. which is obviously different to a lot of the restricting stories here.. i can do food, i can do food a little too well. i've never been at an exceptionally low weight, although i have been 'underweight'. i do have phases of restricting, i'm in one right now, but mostly its this endless horrendous cycle of thinking, 'i'll just have one bar of chocolate/biscuit/slice of cake' and then a few hours later realising i've eaten the entire kitchen and spend the night in the bathroom. i can't explain a binge. it's like i go outside of myself, i don't even realise what i'm doing. i don't even particularly enjoy the food, its like i can't even taste it.
i think the worst part of an ED, its that food just completly takes over your life. it is in everything i think about. it just controls me, everything about me.
sometimes i wish i could just never ever have to deal with food ever again. food is my poison, but i can't physically live without it. i think i am currently slipping, i was doing well but as awful as it sounds this ED is like a comfort blanket. i know it. recovery is just the unknown, and i don't know if i can face it.
chickened out, i'm posting anon. toto, i really really hope you can gain the weight you need. i know you can do it, we're all rooting for you! sending so much love your way xxx

First of all, Liam_G, I didn't see that thread you had posted in but I can't deny that really, really touched me. I didn't realise I was viewed in such a way but ultimately I am incredibly flattered and I have nothing but love, thanks and praise for your kindness
To Liv1204, I say eating disorders are MENTAL illnesses. Even though you're low-end healthy BMI, you're still suffering it. There is even such a thing as an overweight anorexic! What I'm saying is weight and BMI is actually irrelevant when it comes to eating disorders; ultimately, if you obsessively, intensively, compulsively feel compelled to be driven entirely by food habits and regiments then you may well have an eating disorder... even if on the outside, you appear to be healthy. Catch it now, sweetheart, before it does proper damage. XX
Finally to clo-clo and the anonymous poster - Some say that eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia never ever truly disappear from the mind. The remnants linger; your database of food knowledge, calories, fat, everything you "trained" yourself to believe is your correct routine cannot be unlearned or unheard, and thus you will always continue to have those feelings. But the underlying issues for WHY you have those compulsions can be determined, underpinned, and then stopped, leading you to the possibility that you could actually help yourself in the long run! Anonymous, sometimes the ED can manifest itself as like... a third party. Like this demon or a monkey on my shoulder, as I continue to call it. It's like it doesn't matter, as you are a separate entity from your body, and whatever damage you are doing isn't really happening to *you*. And as you said, the terrifying thing is, it becomes a comfort blanket. You become special. The things you do take meaning, because you've elevated food and food routines to a whole new level. You cannot fathom how people can just walk around and "grab a sandwich". Why are they not making a big deal out of it?! An ED sufferer places as much emphasis on a stick of chewing gum as a normal person would on say, Christmas dinner - it's an EVENT. Anonymous I sincerely hope you reconsider your position on recovery, because without it, the ED will just consume you and leave you a husk of a person. And I know.
Once again thank you all for your words of encouragement. I checked the scale this morning for signs of uppage and it's very slow - but it's happening! I am simultaneously overjoyed - nobody wants NG feeding tubes forced down their nostrils as they stew in a hospital bed - and terrified as the ED barks disgusting insults at me, telling me how much I am losing control, getting huge, bloated, and heavy... xxx

TotoMimo, I've been where you are and I've been NG fed. For me, my problems were largely a matter of control and tube feeding takes away all that control. In a way, it changed things; what was the point of choosing a flavour of squash that was 3 calories a cup rather than a flavour that was 4 calories when I was getting hundreds of extra calories via a tube?
But I wish each day that it never came to a tube and just wish I could have put some of my control into a controlled way of gaining weight before it came to a hospitalisation. If I could have gained weight myself, it would have been tasty & edible calories rather than tube calories which you don't get to taste - well, not that you'd want to drink feed... it's horrible-smelling thick beige milk!
You CAN do this. You have a wonderful way about words, a great sense of humour and a future that can only be achieved through regaining some weight. You have a huge amount to give this world.
All the best - I mean it,

Anonymous, that is absolutely it, nail on head. I want to CHOOSE recovery. CHOOSE my recovery meals. EAT my calories to get better, and CONDITION my mind to accept that food is not my enemy. To have calories "wasted" by just pumping a generic paste into me isn't what I want... not by a long shot.
The problem with anorexia is that, as your calories are so heavily restricted, when you DO eat, the foods you choose are filling a "premium slot" of calorific intake allowance. So you put that food on a pedestal, and the food becomes an event in itself. It becomes ritualistic, almost like it's the absolute most worthwhile commodity you can possibly have. So the thought of all that - shoved in a tube through the nose - it's almost not worth thinking about. I just see it as horrifically wasteful of something that I could be enjoying.
Anon, I thank you wholeheartedly for every piece of advice, strength, and encouragement. I'm sorry you couldn't reveal your identity; nobody would judge you for who you are or what you've been through, but I understand your reasoning for wanting to stay anonymous. Your strength is an inspiration, and even if I have to hug you whilst you're wearing a mask, I'll do so with gusto!

I'm really glad this thread popped up as I'd missed it before. The OP is, well, it's very insightful :P: .
Have you considered trying to learn a new language; as that takes a lot of time and effort, and is something goal wise that might be more positive? Or is one of your over all aims to stop being as goal orientated?
Hope everything is going well.

Too Much Love, I understand the need to fill the void in my life that anorexia has completely consumed, once I have stifled it's evil effects. It's why I'm doing side-developments (iphone development etc) whilst I'm off my "real" game development job to try to keep my mind off the constant barrage of self-criticism and calculation/compulsion.
And snowflake... it's not quick enough!! I have three more days and a full pound and a bit to go!

First of all congratulations on the start of your recovery, yes it is a sad story seeing the difference between all the pictures but you are slowly starting to look better and more full of life in your most recent picture and I admire you greatly.
I however am on the opposite side of the spectrum. I am 196lbs, 5'6 and aged 20. I never used to be this size, I was a healthy size 10 - 12 weighing around 10 and a half stone. That was about 4 years ago and I'm not sure what's happened since then.
My mum died of an accidental overdose on perscription anti depresents when I was 15 and then I rarely ate for around a year without even realising it. I guess after that I sort of overcompensated and started to overeat.
When I got to about 18 was when I started to get unhealthy, weighing around 13 stone yet I still didn't really realise it until other people started to mention it. The more they mentioned it the worse I felt so I would just eat more and more. by the time I was 19 I'd been with my boyfriend a year aswell so was feeling way too confident with him and all our activities seem to be based around eating.
In the last year I've really noticed a problem so have been desperately trying to lose weight sensibly, I'd be doing really well for 8 weeks or so then blow it. Then try a crash diet and blow it. And all of this has now resulted in purging. This started around 9 months ago but was very rare so I thought nothing of it and didn't associate it with an eating disorder, just a cheat way out. It's now become regular, 2-3 times a week maybe. And whilst it's not always "binges" I go on before I purge, I think I'm eating more than a regular amount.
I don't know whether this is EDNOS or bulimia, but I am starting to worry as it's getting to the point where I feel guilty if I eat and don't purge.
It's getting to the point where whatever I eat, if there's noone home I will purge it. I know what I'm doing is wrong and I'm terrified about my teeth (vain I know) more than anything.
I just seem to have lost all hope in sensible dieting and have no idea where to go from here. Can anyone help me?

Anonymous, what you've just described is definitely a bulimia-type eating disorder. Well done you, on revealing your demons to us, and don't feel shame for it. You're suffering this, it's not something you asked for.
Incidentally the worst possible aspect of an eating disorder is that food is both your crutch and your enemy; it's the disease and the cure. Like you said, you've determined that food has become an obsession but you have also used it as a comfort. This process of binge-purge is definitely one associated with bulimia, but the underlying issues are yet to reveal themselves completely it seems.
What you need to do is, like I mentioned before to another person, tell someone. A close family member... your GP... anyone. Let someone else into that bubble you've created. I use the metaphor again - you'll flail in the water forever until someone on the shore throws you a line to help you reel yourself in. Someone you can talk to and explain this overwhelming compulsion you have.
In many senses you need to vent the burden in open air before you yourself fully understand it. Maybe hearing it spoken out loud, you can make some revelations about why this crutch is so important and why you insist that purging is the way to "cure" yourself of the food you've been eating.
From there it's a case of slowly but surely understanding that food is a mere component of your life, not the controller. Of course I am no real role model for anyone nor should I be giving out advice given the disorder's current grip around my neck, but this is genuinely the best course of action for you.
Stay in touch on this forum. All my love, anonymous, and let us know how you proceed. Most importantly, do something TODAY. Not "soon", not "when I muster up the courage". Just do it, just take action. Or you'll always make excuses for it, you'll always be pandering to your disorder. You'll start to talk yourself out of it. And it's not worth it; trust me!

I was a 12 stone 5"10 female. Im now a 7 stone 5"10 female.
I lost that weight in 10 months after what was a diet, turned into eating 3 apples per day.
I starved and staved so much, that now Im bulimic. I dont eat at all during the day and then binge and purge during the night. The purging is making me have some really bad body dsymorphia, because i cant get it into my head that im purging what im eating.

I really admire you for putting your story out there. There are so many misconceptions surrounding eating disorders. Like you said, for example, it's so much more than mere vanity. Its an illness that kills and robs people of their lives. I hope you can keep strong in battleing the illness.
I've had Anorexia for about 5 years now. It started around the age of 13, after a few difficult events. Although I had issues with food/ weight/ perfection etc... from the age of 8. Restricting became a way to cope. I felt in control, in a world where I felt so out of control. I also had very low self esteem and little confidence. I punished myself through restriction. Slowly things got worse, and aged 14, mum took me off the the doctors where I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and refered to a specialist. Slowly the weight went back on after being threatened with hospital. I remember feeling like a zombie, just eating away. Feeling so confused that things had gotten so bad. I just felt like any other 14 year old.
After a few months the daze wore off, and I snapped. I lost the weight and then a few months later was admitted to hospital for 5 months.
I came out and relapsed pretty quickly. I had to drop out of school, so I taught myself. Being quite perfectionistic I put alot of pressure on myself to get the top grades I was predicited. But after the exams I was readmitted to hospital on a childrens ward where I was on a NG tube for 3 weeks. I was then sectioned and sent to a specialist unit. I stayed on the NG for about a month and then slowly worked on to solids. I stayed there for 4 months.
Relapsed after a month, resectioned and stayed for 7 months.
Now, my weight is slipping and i've dropped out of college. for the second time. I life my life like a recluse. Not an 18 year old. I so desperatly want to be free and happy, but I feel trapped. I'd like one day to be free of it or atleast less controled. One day!

Editorial Reviews
Rarely has a novel so completely captured America at a crossroads as has Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. It follows Lithuanian immigrant Jurgis Rudkus and his family through an epic journey from their impoverished homeland to America and the promised land of the Chicago stockyards. The promise of freedom and prosperity soon fades though as Jurgis and his family are trapped in a cycle of grinding poverty, sickness, and brutal working conditions.
Though beautifully written, the tone of the story is oppressive — but that's pretty much the point. Jurgis is transformed from a proud, hard-working man to a broken, used-up shell. The stockyard factories take everything a worker has and then tosses them aside. Interspersed throughout the main storyline we also find whole chapters cataloging corruption and the horrific working conditions of the time; other chapters detail the gruesome and grossly unsanitary practices of the meat industry. The Jungle did lead to many important reforms in food safety laws and even eventually to the creation of the FDA. Sinclair had hoped his novel would serve as a call for labor reform and towards the end it does become a bit of a love letter to socialism. The Jungle did however highlight very real labor problems and Chicago would become a center for union activity and labor reform.
I wasn't sure what to expect with Casey Affleck as narrator, yet he quickly won me over. He brings a very necessary everyman feel to the story, a much-needed human touch to the material that often takes you to very inhuman places. His reading of one of the pivotal scenes where a childbirth goes horribly wrong is one of the most utterly devastating, yet touching performances you will ever hear. Affleck brings an incredible depth and understanding as well as a welcome subtlety to much of the reading. In lesser hands this material could have been easily overplayed and maudlin. Affleck's buy-in and commitment to the characters and story are palpable.
Sometimes it's important to revisit our own history, and many of the issues addressed in The Jungle are important and fiercely debated topics again today. Lest we forget our past, The Jungle is here to remind us of a rather dark part of our history and some of the flaws and weaknesses in our own humanity. —Cleo Creech
Publisher's Summary
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is a visceral and tragic story of immigrants trying to scratch out a living in the meatpacking plants of Chicago. The resulting public outcry led directly to the US government enacting changes in food and workplace safety practices still in place today.
With food production, business ethics, and immigration back in the news, Academy Award nominee Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) taps into the emotion behind these issues to breathe life back into the struggling inhabitants of Packingtown. Affleck, a committed vegan and animal rights spokesman, delivers a moving performance that connects with the book's enduring legacy.
The Jungle revolves around the life and family of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant whose dreams of a better life are crushed by punishing work in gruesome stockyards and an unforgiving city. Brilliantly written and vividly described, it provides a poignant and incredibly detailed snapshot of a striking point in American history.

One of great social protest novels of 20th Century
One of the great social protest novels of the 20th Century. 'The Jungle' is at once an indictment on the treatment of immigrants, poverty, American wage slavery, and the working conditions at Chicago's stockyards and meatpacking plants -- and simultaneously an exposé on the unsanitary conditions of the meat produced in the plants and led to Federal real food reform. Did I like it? Well, it pissed me off, so I thought it was a great piece of writing. It reminded me of the time when I was 19 and lived next to the Swift stockyards and meat packing plants. The smells that seemed more terrestrial than dirt seemed to flood back into my brain. 'The Jungle' shows how persuasive fiction can actually lead to real world reform. The FDA was created largely due to the public outcry after the publication of this book.
Jack London said in his review at the time, that the Jungle was the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery. The interesting fact, however, is Sinclair was more concerned about the people, the exploitation of immigrants and children, but the power of this novel ended up being tied to the condition of the food, and not the people. Sinclair was quoted as saying "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach." Regardless, Upton Sinclair throws a helluva punch.
Casey Affleck gives a strong performance in the Jungle. He is able to nuance through Lithuanian and Polish names and various emotions and tempos with ease and aplomb. He stays primarily in the background of the narration, but still gives power and emotion to his reading of this great American protest novel.

Caveat emptor: Powerful book, subpar narration
Somehow I never read this book in high school or even college. I can't believe what I missed! If you haven't read this book, you should. But while the text of the book is a truly powerful work, this audio version of The Jungle has been ruined by the narrator: Casey Affleck's reading was exceedingly uninspiring. (I believe another reviewer used the word "underwhelming" which is a very apt description!) Please find a paper copy or another audio version and save yourself a credit.

Great book ruined by poor narrator....
This is truly a classic and a compelling tale, well worth reading. Unfortunately, The Jungle is ruined by Casey Affleck's sub-par narrating. Affleck's narration has a drawn-out, unrehearsed cadence of one who is reading a children's story to a particularly slow witted child.
Why is Casey Affleck narrating a book of this caliber in the first place ? He does not have a particularly good voice and like I said, his reading of The Jungle is underwhelming. I do not know what he is like as an actor, but he really disappoints here.
I would not rate this book as a waste of a credit -the story is engaging, it is just a bit of a disappointment with Affleck at the helm.
If Affleck was reading "Green Eggs and Ham" I am sure he would shine.

Why, oh why, Casey Affleck?!?...
This is a classic I always wanted to find the time to read. I jumped at the chance when I saw it featured on Audible. Unfortunately, it was difficult to appreciate Sinclair's timeless tale when narrated by Casey Affleck.
He had virtually no inflection and often sounded like he had a mouthful of saliva--the ending of words were difficult to discern in his coarse pronunciation.
I've listened to countless audio books over the years and there are so many good narrators out there practicing this craft, I fault the producers of this version for choosing an actor name over a quality reader.
Since the Lithuanian accent was so crucial to this story, why not use a narrator who has some understanding of this dialect?

"The Jungle" is a grim tale written by Upton Sinclair about the meat-packing industry in early 20th century America. Sinclair exposes the dark side of poverty, urbanization, and immigration in the United States. It reminds one of Charles Dickens' stories of child labor in London but does not offer much warmth or balance. Sinclair's story offers no respite from utter degradation. There is no respite for a reader to believe there is any redemption for being poor in Chicago in the early 1900s.
Every country in the world benefits and suffers from the nature of man and the effects of urbanization; none offer Eden. America remains a land of opportunity. America still offers the best known vehicle for freedom, but equality of opportunity is a work in progress. As long as the American poor remain hidden; the rich and middle class will avert their eyes, mutter "get a job", and think the poor get what they deserve.

It might make you a vegetarian, if not a socialist
With a hundred years of hindsight, we've learned so little.
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is famous for disgusting America with its tales of meat packing workers falling into vats and rendered into lard, and all the things that went into sausages and tinned beef. (Cigar butts and poisoned rats not even being the most disgusting ingredients...) But as Sinclair said about his most famous book, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach." The Jungle is not primarily about the problems of an unregulated meat industry. It's about the crushing brutality of capitalism, and the problems of unregulated accumulation of wealth. No wonder that Americans prefer the less political vegetarian version.
Although Sinclair was a muckraking socialist with an obvious agenda, The Jungle is still a compelling novel in its own right. Jurgis Rudkus is a Lithuanian immigrant who comes to America with his young wife Ona and his extended family of in-laws. Initially believing they have found the promised land of opportunity and plenty, they are quickly taken in by various schemes meant to impoverish, indebt, and enslave immigrants like them. At first only Jurgis has to work in Chicago's meatpacking district. He is young and strong and believes hard work will be rewarded, and those who warn him of how the meatpackers will use him up and dispose of him are lazy whiners. Of course, he soon discovers otherwise. The family undergoes one mishap after another, until within a year, even the children are reduced to selling newspapers on the street and still they are all barely staying alive.
Then things get worse, and worse, and worse. Jurgis is a modern-day Job, with no God to blame his troubles on, only capitalism. He has several ups and downs, but every time he catches a break, it's quickly followed by yet another brutal smackdown. Sinclair was trying to make the reader feel sorry for Jurgis and his poor family, all of whom end up dead, prostituted, or beggars by the end of the book, and you will. The poor man just cannot win, and if he makes mistakes and chooses the less noble path when given a choice, it's pretty hard to judge him if you've never been homeless on the streets of Chicago in the wintertime.
The Jungle is a grimly detailed look at early 20th century America. Sinclair was muckraking, so obviously he's showing the ugliest bits of America he can, but history proved that most of what he was alleging was true, even if his conclusions were questionable. Even if you are strongly anti-socialist, The Jungle is an eye-opening story, and still relevant after all these years. If you think that the horrors depicted in this book are relics of a previous era, just remember that to the extent that the very worst of these abuses are now curbed (somewhat) by government regulations, those government regulations are exactly what "free market" advocates hate and want to abolish.
4 stars. Knocking one star off because while Sinclair mostly kept his didacticism in check throughout the book, using gripping drama and only a little bit of exposition to arouse the horror he intended, the last chapter was nothing but socialist sermonizing, making it less a climax than the author climbing onto a soapbox to deliver his moral.
I have to ding this version for the unfortunate choice of narrator: I've enjoyed several of Audible's Signature Performances, but Casey Affleck's reading was monotonous and completely lacking in passion. His voice lacked distinction, and he sounded like a schoolboy reading a book aloud to the class. Not every celebrity actor makes a good audiobook narrator.

Great book, poor choice for narrator.
I was so excited to see this classic offered on Audible; however, that was short lived as I started listening to it. Mr. Affleck comes across as an old man in pain and makes it very difficult to listen. At least he does a great job with the wide variety of ethic names though.

This is not Sir Richard Attenborough's Jungle
This is the jungle that is my personal history being of slavic (Polish) extraction. My personal history is with the steel mills and coal mines nearby. In this story we see the struggle of the immigrants to an earlier America in another industry. If you do not realize that this is a historical retelling of the actual lives of people in America you missed a big part of American history. This is not fiction.
Here's a reality check. You know how Julian Assange leaked secret documents about the war in the middle east. You remember how the Watergate Scandal led to the resignation of Nixon as president. Well "the Jungle" was as big an expose' in it's time for telling the truth aobut the meat packing industry. This led to the current involvement of the Food and Drug Admin in our daily lives (yes thank you )... So you owe it to yourself to read the history of where we were back then and how greed is truly a deadly sin, and not just for the greedy.

Enlightening Details. Phenomenal Narration.
This was assigned reading in high school; therefore, because of blatant rebellion coupled with youthful ignorance, I neglected to partake in my teenage years. This novel nearly transformed a devoted meat-eater into a vegetarian. The characters are well defined and the material dangerously realistic.

Sad Story, Good narration
If you could sum up The Jungle: A Signature Performance by Casey Affleck in three words, what would they be?
Casey does a great "third grade teacher" impression with his character voices and reads the foreign words and names pretty well.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Well, I felt for Jurgis the most since he was the protagonist. He was such a genuine character all the way through. It is sad to such such a good man turn sour after life continued to hand him rotten lemons.
Which scene was your favorite?
Sadly, The Jungle doesn't have "favorite" scenes as all good things quickly turned into horrible situations.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Jurgis was given a $100 bill and in his joy realized that there was danger in using it. It was heartbreaking to see what happened. Poor Jurgis. Can't catch a break.
Any additional comments?
Just over and over again Jurgis was screwed over.

Finally got around to it
What did you like most about The Jungle: A Signature Performance by Casey Affleck?
His reading is exceptional. He sounds weary, which lends itself nicely to a story of immigrants being slowly worn down.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Jungle: A Signature Performance by Casey Affleck?
Everything. The story is BRUTAL. As a listener, you are the steer and you're waiting for the hammer of misery to fall.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The whole book

An Engrossing Story with Superb Narration
Upton Sinclair intended to introduce his readers to socialism. The amoral and unsympathetic characters don't really help his cause, but plenty of people have taken up vegetarianism after reading the gruesome abattoir scenes.
More importantly, this dark and depressing story is utterly gripping. Casey Affleck narrates it brilliantly, bringing exactly the hopeless, depressing tone that much of this novel needs.
The plot surrounds Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant in Chicago. He takes a job in a slaughterhouse and experiences brutal working conditions, unemployment, jail time and homelessness. It isn't jolly, but it is utterly engrossing.

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. - "Inside Llewyn Davis," which was announced Thursday morning as a finalist for cinematography and sound mixing in this year's Academy Awards, was partially filmed at Pace University's Briarcliff Dining Center.
The film crew transformed the interior of the Pace building into a replica of a 1960s-era Fred Harvey Oasis restaurant overlooking the Illinois Tollway outside of Chicago. It appears in a key scene of the movie involving the actors John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, and Oscar Isaac. The scene was filmed at Pace in the spring of 2012.
This year's Oscar winners will be announced on Sunday, March 2.

Mary-Kate wore her waist-cincher over her Lily et Cie gown to the Costume Institute Gala on Monday, while sister Ashley topped a teeny mini skirt with the belt on Wednesday night. We love that with all of the Olsen's mega-bucks, they still love to share! Tell us: Who wears the belt better: Ashley or Mary-Kate?

Superman eats alone
Check out Henry Cavill in Rome, eating alone. How would you feel about this series of photos if not for the Kaley Cuoco incident?
I would probably feel more…kind.
I would miss him for Gina Carano.
I might even envy it. Eating alone, with a book, or the newspaper, or a great magazine is an indulgence.
But that Kaley Cuoco incident won't go away. She's certainly trying to make it go away. That crazy quick engagement could very well be a reaction to the reaction of her perceived 10 day relationship with Clark Kent. And now Clark Kent finds himself all by himself. Which should have been the strategy from the get, non?
So can we start over now?
Can we make it so that it never happened?
Was it a rookie mistake? Was he influenced by his management team into a poor decision? Has he learned better now?
Should we still mash him together with Ashley Greene?

Obama set to tear up his executive order.
Detainee began to cry … Visibly anxious … Very emotional … Detainee cries … Disturbed … Detainee began to cry … Butted SGT R in the eye … Bit the IV tube in two … Started moaning … Uncomfortable … Moaning … Began crying hard spontaneously … Screamed.
The outcry is beginning. Obama is about to change his position on the treaty ban on torture.
Hopefully the voices will get loud, because in case you hadn't noticed, Obama has developed a habit of saying one thing and doing another. He said he would close Guantánamo, then didn't. He said he would get America out of Iraq for good, but the US is already back in the country bombing ISIS. He opposed the torture and cruel treatment of detainees on foreign soil, now he's preparing to make it legal again. As The New York Times reported in an October 19th article, Obama looks set to adopt a Bush-era interpretation of the treaty ban on torture so that American intelligence officers and the military will once again be able to torture detainees outside of America:
The Obama administration has never officially declared its position on the treaty, and now, President Obama's legal team is debating whether to back away from his earlier view. It is considering reaffirming the Bush administration's position that the treaty imposes no legal obligation on the United States to bar cruelty outside its borders, according to officials who discussed the deliberations on the condition of anonymity.
The administration must decide on its stance on the treaty by next month, when it sends a delegation to Geneva to appear before the Committee Against Torture, a United Nations panel that monitors compliance with the treaty. That presentation will be the first during Mr. Obama's presidency.
The torture debate will get academic and legalistic in the coming days, and moral lines will start to blur, but no matter what is said, remember that the whole discussion comes down to the question of whether or not to allow the inhuman abuse of a human being.
If there is any heart left in Obama at all he will ban torture unconditionally and end this for good.
We know a lot now about what went on in those rooms:
Detainee began to cry … Visibly anxious … Very emotional … Detainee cries … Disturbed … Detainee began to cry … Butted SGT R in the eye … Bit the IV tube in two … Started moaning … Uncomfortable … Moaning … Began crying hard spontaneously … Crying and praying … Began to cry … Claimed to have been pressured into making a confession … Falling asleep … Very uncomfortable … On the verge of breaking … Angry … Detainee struggled … Detainee asked for prayer … Very agitated … Yelled … Tired … Agitated … Yelled for Allah … Started making odd faces … Near crying … Irritated … Annoyed … Detainee attempted to injure two guards … Became very violent and irate … Attempted to liberate himself … Struggled … Made several attempts to stand up … Screamed.

Adding a storage building to your property is definitely going to affect its appearance. There's no way around it. However, contrary to what you're thinking, the effect doesn't have to be negative. Wood sheds feature sophisticated, house-like designs that can actually enhance their surroundings. You might find that surprising, but stop and think about it for a moment. What material are most homes made out of? And does your home detract from your property's appearance? Exactly. (If you answered that your house is harming the appearance of your property, you might want to consider doing something about that. A fresh coat of paint is always a good place to start.)
You don't need to be. Assembling a wood storage building isn't as difficult as you think it is. All of these sheds are designed so that anyone, even someone without any construction experience, can put them together quickly and easily. You don't need any special skills, just a few tools and the ability to read an instruction manual. And perhaps the interest in being able to say that you built something yourself.
This is where it can get a little bit tricky. Wood storage buildings do cost more than those made with other materials. Wood is more expensive than plastic and metal; there's just nothing you can do about it. It is important to note, though, that wooden sheds tend to be larger so the price difference might not be as big as a casual glance might suggest. Also, wood, when properly cared for, can often last longer than metal or plastic. Its natural strength also gives it an edge when it comes to withstanding extreme weather. So, depending on your situation, a wood shed might actually wind up saving you money.

Sam Hecht and Kim Colin
Contrasts, and holding them in creative tension, define the work of Sam Hecht and Kim Colin. Their designs reflect both a meticulous attention to an object's details and a thoughtful consideration of its context. Thus, they measure the success of their designs, "not only in sales or notoriety but also in the contribution to the greater good of the industry (and we hope, the planet)".
Hecht and Colin at their core embody two contrasting world views. He is a native Londoner, educated as an industrial designer, contemplative and drawn to essential simplicity. She is a Californian, trained as an architect, effusive and drawn to use the sensibilities of her discipline – emotion, scale, landscape, culture – to inform design.
Their studio, Industrial Facility, is located in central London's Clerkenwell neighbourhood, itself a place of opposites, hip and professional, home to thinkers and entertainers. The studio is small in number, eclectic in talent.
"Each of us is from a different part of the world", notes Colin, "and we collaborate constantly about ideas, methods and opinions. Our work is never created in cultural isolation, and therefore our office behaves like a good, condensed international neighbourhood, which is efficient, energetic and pleasurable".
Hecht adds: "When we are working through the design process, it is very much a series of conversations. What comes out of it is a sense of equilibrium because the process, the result, is essentially holding those two points of view".
Since founding their studio in 2002, Hecht and Colin have used their "worldly views" to design objects that range in scale from the diminutive to the architectural. In addition to their work with Herman Miller, they have designed products for Yamaha (Japan), Mattiazzi (Italy), Issey Miyake (Japan), Established & Sons (UK), Louis Vuitton and Tectona (France) and Muji (Japan). Originally, in 2008, Herman Miller asked both Kim and Sam to become retained creative advisers.
Many of their designs are held in museum permanent collections, including those of MoMA in New York City, the Art Institute in Chicago, the Finlandia Museum, Helsinki, the San Francisco MoMA, the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the State Museum of Applied Arts in Munich and the V&A Museum in London.

Corrugated Brooch - Anne Finlay
Anne returned to the studio after a long break and was ready to try something completely new after previously working with plastics. She enjoys the many possibilities paper provides, its flexibility, and the slowness of the process as she glues and shapes the many layers of each piece.
See more examples of Anne's paper jewelry at The Scottish Gallery. You might also find it interesting to see her acrylic and PVC jewelry here... again, very modern and sculptural.
Facebook Finds this past week included:
Ornate quilled typography
An unusual paper wreath
Cute chalkboard place cards
Folded money rings
Oh, and there's still time to enter the generous Le Papier Studio giveaway. Ends tomorrow, Saturday at 11:59 PM EST. Good luck!

Hi J and D, If you mean quilling patterns, there are several on my blog tutorials list: http://www.allthingspaper.net/p/tutorials.html. You might also do a Google search for "Christmas quilling patterns". quilling.blogspot.com and whimsiquills.com both show several cute ideas.ReplyDelete

Whoa, that is some precision cutting...no matter how careful I am my paper always ends up a half a millimeter thicker or thinner...with regular quilling its annoying but doable, how does she get all the slices so even?!ReplyDelete
I know what you mean Kim, and something else that puzzles me is how does she so successfully separate the crimping inside corrugated cardboard from the backing pieces on each side?!ReplyDelete

"At $199, you can just about buy a tablet at a 7-Eleven," said Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA CEO, when he was discussing the future of tablets powered by his company's quad-core Tegra 3 processor. We have been discussing rumors of a $199 "Nexus tablet" for months and now it appears that could become a reality soon.
At NVIDIA's annual meeting of stockholders the company revealed their new Kai platform, which will enable quad-core tablets running Android 4.x Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at the $199 price point.
ASUS previously announced their $249 MeMo 370T tablet at CES, which included a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, but that device never came to market. Rumors suggested that Google was collaborating with ASUS to lower the price to $199 and sell it in their Play Store, but we are still waiting on official confirmation.
Now that the Wall St. Journal is reporting that up to five OEM partners will sell devices through the new Google Play Store, it looks likely we will see the ASUS 7-inch tablet finally go on sale. We don't know exactly when it will hit stores, but Google's annual developer conference is scheduled to begin on June 27th and that is when most are expecting some kind of announcement.
Some of the details and specs could change, but it's highly likely we will be able to purchase a $199 tablet with Android 4.x and a quad-core processor in the coming months. I tend to gravitate towards the larger 10-inch tablets, but this 7-inch, $199 tablet should be the best deal available when it arrives.
Anyone still saving up for this?

These Come From Trees Elevator Pitch
If you're here, you may have heard about this on the web, seen a sticker in a coffee shop / restaurant near you, or just might be a friend or family member of our dear Pete.
So, for those who don't know, the These Come From Trees concept was originated while having lunch at In N Out, that bastion of tasty burgers. The way that In N Out works, you order your food, wait for it to be made, grab it when your order is called, and then head on over to the ketchup and napkin dispensing island. Well, the thing is, because the ketchup and the napkins are centrally located, and you don't want to have to get back up to get more, you typically end up taking more than you really need.
Now, usually that sort of thing would just go without saying. But when I was at In N Out, looking around, I couldn't help but notice the napkins. Everywhere. Stacks of napkins on people's tables, out of which one or two would get used during the course of the meal. But here's the catch: when people are done, they don't leave the napkins. I think anyone would agree that the idea of using some random napkins on your table when you sit down would be rather, um, icky. So most of the people, as I watched, did the conscientious thing to reset the table to its base state for the next group, which means scooping up that stack of unused napkins, putting them on the tray with the other trash, and into the garbage they go!
This was amazing to me. Here we all were, me too, going about our business, not really thinking about the impact of our actions because, in this case, the resource was "free" to use.
Further, this wasn't an example of someone calling into question whether the use or misuse of a resource was "justified." This wasn't the same as someone saying "Wow, you shouldn't drive that Hummer, because you have no use for it" or making some other value judgment. Any reasonable person, when asked "should unused paper goods be thrown into the trash" would probably look at you sideways before saying, "Duh, no Pete."
That's what was amazing about this situation. If actually made to think of about these actions, everyone would be in agreement. I think if you asked anyone in there dumping napkin after napkin into the trash if they cared about conservation and the wise use of resources, we'd all say "yes." Of course we would. It was just that the thought process to intervene wasn't immediate, and internalized. But maybe there was a way that it could be.
I was truly curious how pervasive this problem was, and if there was a way we could all just "snap out of it" at the moment of consumption, and somehow reduce our waste. As I started noodling on it, I resolved to research how extended this problem was, and put my mind towards seeing if there were any good ways to deal with it.

Well, I got my day started by finding that some sanctimonious little "guerilla" had struck my facility, plastering your plastic stickers all over our trash cans at odd angles. It looks awful, and now I'm stuck spending my time using solvents to get the damn things off, and they're not saving ANY trees.
The irony is that if someone had approached me and asked if I'd be interested in using them for the museum, I'd have said yes, but instead I'm just annoyed that some high-minded little twit tagged us without the slightest awareness of our actual work on environmental issues. I'm the director of facility maintenance and tech for the American Visionary Art Museum and I don't need some little suburban "guerilla" with a pack of oil-industry plastic gang tags to teach me how to be green.
In my tenure, I've changed much of our lighting to CFL and LED lighting, changed our cleaning products and consumables (like paper towels and toilet paper) to sustainably grown and recycled alternatives, and advanced our core mission of artistic recycling and reuse. We xeriscape in our green areas, use reclaimed water for our gardening, and are building new structures in our garden with salvaged soda cans in a mortar matrix, plastered with mosaic artwork made of salvaged glass and ceramics. AVAM has rooftop vegetable gardens in the summer and we'll have Kenya top bar hives on campus next year bolstering the local honeybee population…but some little wank with a pocketful of stickers doesn't really care about that, oh no.
It's all very feel-good, very celebrity "green," to slap a sticker that no one will ever read on a trash can and walk away smug, feeling like an eco-warrior, and it's a hell of a lot harder to actually do something. How about encouraging your "guerillas" to actually spend five minutes on the phone, calling the facility managers of their targets and actually engaging in a dialogue?
As it stands, I've got a bad taste in my mouth and some little middle-class wannabe green activist is smug for nothing, and these stickers are going in the trash with the solvents and the paper I'll have to use to remove them. If people care, why don't they get off their asses and actually do something? Donating a low-energy use cool-air hand dryer to the facility would be a nice statement, but I'd be happy just to have a little actual engagement and a little less of this kind of teenybopper pseudo-grassroots BS.

Joe, that sounds very frustrating.
However, it also sounds like you're jumping to the conclusion that because someone posted these stickers in your bathroom, it necessarily means they don't know or don't care about the other efforts that you are admirably undertaking, and I think that's a bad conclusion to jump to.
If you think about it, not everyone is enlightened as you, and these stickers are sometimes their first experience with the idea of sustainable design, which leads them to a whole new chapter. That is, after having seen these, we have seen many facilities folks ending up buying up many stickers to deploy, and pursuing other programs of the sort you have already implemented.
If you read around on the blog, the recommendation is for people to do with the stickers what they are comfortable with, and be mindful and respectful of the facilities. This could mean talking to the facilities owner, of course. It certainly means being precise in the placement of them. In fact, the stickers themselves are laminated to withstand cleaning, to ensure that they don't look bad in a bathroom, not to mention professionally designed.
In fact, if you look around the site, there are hundreds of institutions who are using these. All you have to do is click on the link at the top of each page that says "Hundreds of Businesses are using These Come From Trees stickers."
With respect to your point about "spending five minutes on the phone", there are plenty of our readers and "eco warriors" who have done just this. For example, a handful of students at a variety of colleges have worked with me to gather the information they need to deploy these across the school. However, not everyone has that time, and part of the value of these stickers is that they lower the barrier to "just do something" as you put it. For those who can dive in with both feet, great. But for those who can't, this is a helpful tool.
What you're doing at the museum is great, and I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with someone who has not taken the project's spirit to heart. However, I would caution you to not "throw the baby out with the bath water" because of your frustration, and instead step back and look at the bigger picture. Hopefully you'll see that outside of your single experience there's something larger at work here, and appreciate that for its value.

I think Joe has a point. The worst thing about environmental campaigning is environmental campaigners. There's no getting away from it, they are sanctimonious.
Hardly any of them seem to have a job that involves making things; none of them seems to understand basic economics; and all of them seem to want to tell me what to do, rather than show me what they're doing.
Cars are a good example. In the UK, we pay an annual tax for our cars now based on CO2 emissions. This makes no sense. I drive a 4x4 because I live in the countryside. I never buy new because I can't afford it. Raise the tax on my car, and all I'll do is buy a cheaper, older, and therefore more polluting car.
How to fix this? Well, you could tax my usage, and I'll do my best to drive less. The less I drive, the less I pollute, and the less I pay. Everyone wins.
But the ecomentalists don't want that.
Why? For them, it's not business. It's personal.
They don't like 4x4 cars; and they don't like the people who drive them.
And I'm afraid I respond in like fashion.
I just don't like them, and I'm not inclined to do what they tell me. Or nudge me.

I think your point is well taken about how the tenor of the conversation between someone with an environmentally-focused agenda and the target of that message is really important in getting the right point across.
I agree with you that often that conversation has been one of condescension, and no one wins in that situation.
I would argue, though, that this project is not an example of this, in that we took substantial pains in the design of the stickers to *not* be condescending or preachy, but rather to provide a helpful nudge in the same way that one friend would to another. The goal, of course, being that by making this communication more friendly and open, the message is more likely seen as non-threatening, and one of helpful reminder rather than a stern dictum.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I saw these attractive, thoughtful little stickers on the towel dispenser in the bathroom at the University of Pennsylvania recently, and I thought, "what a great idea! We should get these for our office!" It's certainly not something you should do without the consent of the property owner (as was Joe's problem), but I don't think that was your intent.
My office has been interested in pursuing green initiatives, such as recycling and reducing waste, and this seems like a simple, gentle, nonjudgmental way to remind people not to waste. I've passed a link to this blog on to the person spearheading green initiatives in our office, and I hope I'll be seeing some of these stickers on the towel dispensers in our bathroom soon!

People don't seem to have thought through the whole "use less paper" thing.
It is very popular to use less paper, but carbon sequestration through paper based landfill is an effective measure in the fight against global warming.
Preventing the removal of trees from old growth forests is a good idea for protecting biodiversity.
Farmed trees make a majority of their dry mass by taking carbon out of the air and turning it into wood.
If these trees are left in the ground once mature, their conversion rate slows and they are no longer as efficient at removing carbon from the air.
Replacing farmed trees as quickly as they mature allows the carbon to be sequestered and the efficiency to be maintained.
Carbon sequestration onto libraries as books, and most of society as furniture and housing is good, but the shear amount of carbon in the air requires that the carbon be buried.
Using the wood as paper simply allows the best use of an important environmental carbon sink.
Composting or burning returns the carbon to the air. Sealed Landfill seems to be the best way to sequester the carbon permanently.

Saw these in a museum bathroom in Asheville, NC. I fell in love with the idea. I decided then on- one paper towel, and, only if my hands are still soaked, I can get another. It's changed my entire set of habits.
I've also decided to take my conversion a step further, order some stickers, and begin taking the campaign on around my home and college town. Now, I'm a respectful adult, and I know it would be rude and pointless to plaster a sticker where ever I see fit- I'll talk to managers, show them the stickers, and place them with their permission and assistance.
After all, you get much more done when you ask others for their help.

I've seen a similar sticker that can be used to be posted in a variety of places to warn them of the harm of overusing paper towels (or even using them at all). It does less to remind people that paper towels come from trees but instead, just as helpfully, reminds people that they don't need to use more than one paper towel in a public bathroom to get their hands dry. It outlines a very simple technique: shake, fold and dry. I wonder if this surprisingly obvious technique will make a difference or if people will just continue to use paper towels in public bathrooms like an completely renewable resource...

Uruguay president slams FIFA over Suarez ban
Uruguay president Jose Mujica has lambasted FIFA as "sons of b*****s" for handing out a "fascist" punishment to Luis Suarez.
Suarez was hit with a four-month ban from all football activity and a nine-match international suspension for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the FIFA World Cup last week.
The Liverpool forward subsequently protested his innocence and the Uruguay FA have lodged an appeal, although the 27-year-old on Monday apologised to Chiellini.
Prior to Suarez's admission of guilt, Mujica left FIFA in no doubt as to his personal feelings on the issue.
"At FIFA, they are a bunch of old sons of b*****s," said Mujica when Uruguay landed back home following their World Cup exit at the hands of Colombia on Saturday.
"They could have punished (him), but not with fascist sanctions."
The Chiellini incident marks the third time that Suarez has bitten an opposition player following clashes with PSV midfielder Otman Bakkal in 2010 and Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic last year.

On Saturday at the library, the tree hosts a party so the branches can flourish.
The Hood River County Library Foundation invites the community to eat, drink and be merry in the library at the third-annual Feast of Words, its annual gala fundraiser, on March 8, from 6-9 p.m. This year, the Library Foundation's goal is to raise $18,000 for big projects in the Cascade Locks and Parkdale branches.
In Cascade Locks, the library will move from City Hall to the Cascade Locks School, giving the branch more room and the opportunity to partner with the school district and Mt. Hood Community College. The Parkdale branch will get a much-needed facelift including new carpeting, furniture and a defined children's space.
Feast of Words will include desserts and savory appetizers, local wine and beer, and live music in the historic downtown Hood River Library. Parking is available across State Street in the Hood River News parking lot.
There will be many fun events for the whole family at the Feast of Words. People can dance along to live music by Kerry Williams and Friends. Children are welcome, too: library staff will be on hand with activities for kids downstairs in the children's library.
Desserts are being coordinated by Polly Wood. There will be live and silent auction items up for bid, including a party for 25 with Solstice's mobile pizza oven, one week lodging in Oaxaca, Mexico, a weekend at a beach house in Neskowin, or a bronze art piece from Soderberg Studio of Cascade Locks.
Event sponsors are the Mary Hoyt Stevenson Foundation, Portland Spirit/Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler, Double Mountain Brewery, Nestlé Waters, Cardinal Glass, Best Western Hood River Inn, Best Western Columbia River Inn, Bear Mountain Forest Products, Sierra Olympic Technologies, McIsaac's Store, and Hutson Museum. Beer and wine sponsors are Double Mountain Brewery and Viento Wines.
Tickets are $25 each and are available at any library branch, Waucoma Bookstore, Volcanic Bottle Shoppe, or online at hoodriverlibrary.org/
foundation. Tickets may also be bought at the event itself.
For more information, contact the Hood River County Library District at 541-386-2535 or email@example.com, or visit hoodriverlibrary.org.
March 16 brings the kickoff of the 2014 Hood River County Reads project, which this year celebrates the work of poet William Stafford in the book "Ask Me: 100 Essential Poems." The kickoff event will be 2 p.m. at the Hood River Library. Hood River County Reads culminates with a workshop and reading by Stafford's son, Kim, on April 26-27.
